Descriptions
Visual: About 20, white cis male, average-cute, often appears a bit tired or daydreamy. Blue eyes. Ginger hair that just kind of falls where it wants. AMAZING freckles. It's not usually clear, because he tends to wear very baggy and unassuming clothes, but he has a bit of a rack going on.
Voice: Generically American accent. Pretty low-key and even voice that rarely gets raised into anger.
Smell: Dude's a werewolf. So if you can smell nonhuman blood, he's got that. If you can smell the mark of the Hunt fear entity, he'll have that too. However 'werewolf' would show up in your character's senses is what he's got going on; go nuts interpreting that.
Demeanour: Slouching, laid-back, not particularly assertive.
Werewolf Stuff
Max is unfortunately a werewolf! His werewolf form (here's a screenshot and a gif) is sort of an eight-foot-tall gollum-looking thing, with pointed ears, yellow eyes, and monstrous canine fangs. It's covered in grey skin and has a really unnecessarily long tongue.
He doesn't remember his transformations and doesn't stay in the driver's seat during them; he basically becomes a hungry predatory animal that heavily favours human prey. Silver, loud noises, bright lights, and still water are painful to a werewolf, and they can be killed with silver weapons.
Want to get hunted / have a werewolf fight / get bit? Yell at me and we can work something out! Werewolves tend to prioritise biting humans, but they'll attack other stuff too for sure. Max is going to try to lock himself away during full moons, but precautions can always fail if we want them to. I figure the curse would only remain on a bitten character until they die and come back, but you can handle that side of it however seems the most fun, I'm not the boss of you.
So You've Been Bitten By A Werewolf: A Handy Guide
➼ getting bitten (and only getting bitten: something like a scratch doesn't count) transfers the werewolf infection to a victim.
➼ when infected, it takes between one and a few hours to transform into a werewolf. the infection gets more intense over time; a big clue that it's getting severe is that injuries quickly heal, even if they're as severe as missing body parts. eyes turning briefly yellow is also a dead giveaway.
➼ the infection will start to erode impulse control and bring out hidden parts of your personality, though that's only relevant if you're hiding something. this seems to happen sooner if you have a lot to hide. this happens in the lead-up to any transformation, not only your first infection.
➼ it's pretty obvious when you're about to transform: you'll get gross black veins, clouded/yellow eyes, and sharp teeth, and experience pain / confusion / spacing out.
➼ when you transform from human to monster or vice versa, it's with a sudden explosion of gore, enough to heavily splatter the scenery. Here's a video (warning: lots of gore and Quarry spoilers.)

SMELLS
John Crichton - Human, but with some oddly non-human undertones picked up from his time in space (he's got some fun new bacteria living in/on him). His hygiene products are pretty basic, so just soap and deodorant in neutral fresh scents. He probably also smells like he rolled in Arthur(TM) because they are together all the time. ;)
no subject
That said, I don't think he can tansform into a werewolf because he's not human but they will definitely give him blight.
Happy hunting!
